Forever's Edge - Ascension (Crown of Thorns)

Question me not so called "Divine light Imitation"
Even though the heartless have such phony aspirations
Dare to call me shepherd? Judge me "Blindly guided liar"
Oh you should know you too are no stranger to the fire
Dare to walk with demons? To consummate with fear?
Take a walk with me my son. For once you'll see it clear

"All the sins committed. For you've chosen three
Don't dare to turn your back. Now you belong to me"

Sin 1 is that you're holier than thou. Allow me to show you the truth
"The shattered glass-like mirror. How it shows what you forsake"
As counterfeit as these dark wings. Mark the artificial kingdom
A throne upon that which you've built

"It pours the glass much fuller. Proving once for all your guise
The shadows growing nearer. As the tensions now arise"

Now as the fire eats away. So does this memory
All mourning father starts to pray. Becoming sorrowed melodies
Never a present; futures passed. It is my bidding. My Command
All innocent shall lose their will. Cold broken spirits. Faithful till
Their dancing cries echoing deep
If all but whispers, cry to thee

This hour we divide our circle. Kingdoms start to fall
Gather are the faithful, who've only known of loss
Baptized in the fire. Shall bare my crown of thorns
Where hope becomes inferno. And faith becomes their cross

Second Sin so hopeless is such everlasting passions
A sweet lie; now can drown asunder
"Lusted desire, woman's touch. Carnal connections. Touch to touch"

Hand in hand your final sin. Your pride is so consuming
Has all of this begun to sink in?

"All you are, and all you know. You're spirits broke. Your shattered will"
Now answer me. Why do you placate dispositions? Or triumph mediocrity?
"As bitter sweet the taste. All you've done will hold no weight"

Does your time deserve the truth for the kingdom built on lies?
Every brick was paved by you

This glass is almost full. I believe his time's arrived
His spirits not yet shattered. Though he's ready now to rise

He so defies, won't subjugate. Resists compelling. Far too Late!
If all you've known is Lies. Give me salvation? That's your cry?

Your memories, all broken dreams. Your fallen tears belong to me

Hear not thy mother knowing this. Though strong you are. Can never win!
Broken the vows. Divided light. Within the shadows four shall rise!
Rise... Rise... RISE

So many sins how could we lie? Your self denial makes you right?
Damnation is a tricky step. Look in the mirror and accept!
Remove the mask and so become. No longer deceiving what you've done
Another sinner costumed saint. Cry out to father. Kneel and pray!

This hour we divide our circle. Kingdoms start to fall
Gather are the faithful, who've only known of loss
Baptized in the fire. Shall bare my crown of thorns
Where hope becomes inferno. And faith becomes their cross

Now that the nine complete the circle. Kingdom built on flames
With you our contradiction. You're the only ones to blame
Without you we're but shadows. Lost dreams, hopes, desires
Cause you're our final ember
Damnation we shall rise!
